ABSTRACT A semi-automated qualitative method for target screening of 448 pesticide
25
residues in fruits and vegetables was developed and validated using ultra-high
26
performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole
27
Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap). The Q-Orbitrap
28
Full MS/dd-MS2 (data dependent acquisition) was used to acquire product-ion spectra of
29
individual pesticides to build a compound database or an MS library, while its Full
30
MS/DIA (data independent acquisition) was utilized for sample data acquisition from
31
fruit and vegetable matrices fortified with pesticides at 10 and 100 µg/kg for target
32
screening purpose. Accurate mass, retention time and response threshold were three key
33
parameters in a compound database that were used to detect incurred pesticide residues in
34
samples. The concepts and practical aspects of in-spectrum mass correction or solvent
35
background lock-mass correction, retention time alignment and response threshold
36
adjustment are discussed while building a functional and working compound database for
37
target screening. The validated target screening method is capable of screening at least
38
94% and 99% of 448 pesticides at 10 and 100 µg/kg, respectively, in fruits and
39
vegetables without having to evaluate every compound manually during data processing,
40
which significantly reduced the workload in routine practice.

INTRODUCTION
44
There are over 1000 pesticides that could be potentially used to protect crops
45
against a wide range of pests and fungi, and provide quality preservation of food and
2

46
agricultural commodities. Pesticide residues, which might pose a potential risk for human
47
health due to their sub-acute and chronic toxicity, could remain in crops such as fruits and
48
vegetables. It is important to control or regulate the uses of pesticides in crop production
49
and to monitor their levels for compliance so as to ensure the safety of the food supply.
50
National and international bodies such as Canada,1 United States,2 European Union,3,4 and
51
Codex5 have conducted health risk assessment of pesticide residues in food to establish
52
maximum residue limits (MRLs) and set regulations for monitoring programs for
53
domestic food safety and international trade of foods. In Canada, Health Canada
54
determines the allowable/safe amount of pesticide residues in food, and sets science-
55
based MRLs to ensure the safety of Canadian food supply.1 Many food commodities such
56
as fruits, vegetables, infant food, tea, grains, pulses etc., have been tested for pesticide
57
residues under the Canadian National Chemical Residues Monitoring Program and Food
58
Safety Action Plan by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.6
59
Both gas- and liquid-chromatography single or triple quadrupole mass
60
spectrometry have been widely used to determine pesticide residues in food.7,8 These
61
techniques are routinely utilized for target analysis, in which standard calibration curves
62
are required for the quantitation and identification of analytes. Recently, LC-Orbitrap and
63
LC-Time of Flight (TOF) have been increasingly used for the quantitation and
64
identification of pesticide residues in food.9-15 The Orbitrap and TOF mass spectrometers
65
offer high mass-resolution (> 20,000 FWHM), accurate mass measurement (< 5 ppm),
66
excellent Full MS scan sensitivity, and complete mass spectrometric information. Besides
67
quantitation and identification, the high mass-resolution and accurate mass measurement
68
capabilities of Orbtrap and TOF allow for the screening of pesticides based on their
3

69
accurate masses. These types of analyses are often referred to as screening methods or
70
semi-automated MS-based detections. This screening concept offers laboratories an
71
effective means to expand their analytical scope to chemicals such as pesticides, which
72
potentially have a low probability of being present in the samples. Pesticides that occur
73
more frequently would continue to be monitored using validated quantitative multi-
74
residue methods.16 Recent studies have shown that methods by TOF17,18 and Orbitrap11,19
75
have been used for pesticides screening based on accurate mass measurements through
76
MS library searches or custom database matching.
77

This study was designed to develop, for the first time, a systematic and detailed
78
protocol for the development of a compound database (CDB) and its applications for
79
target screening of 448 pesticides in fruits and vegetables. The CDB was built based on
80
theoretical and experimental mass data. Exact mass was calculated using the elemental
81
composition of a pesticide. Accurate mass (measured with mass accuracy ≤ 5 ppm),
82
retention time and response threshold were three key parameters that were considered
83
while building a functional and working CDB. These parameters were used to optimize
84
the CDB to reduce false negatives and/or false positives. Full MS/dd-MS2 (data
85
dependent acquisition) was utilized to acquire product-ion spectra of pesticides for
86
individual standards that were used to build the compound database. Full MS/DIA (data
87
independent acquisition) was used to acquire sample data from fruits and vegetable
88
matrices fortified with pesticides at 10 and 100 µg/kg. The method was validated
89
according to SANTE/11945/2015.16 This qualitative method significantly reduced the
90
workload for data processing in routine practice. The entire procedure including sample
91
extraction and data processing was quick and simple enough to allow for high-throughput

testing of routine samples, which could benefit pesticide residue monitoring programs.
93
MATERIALS AND METHODS
94
Materials and Reagents. Five fruit and five vegetable blank samples were
95
obtained from local markets. Fruits included apple, banana, grape, orange and strawberry.
96
Vegetables included carrot, potato, tomato, broccoli and lettuce. All samples were
97
blended using a food processor at room temperature and 2 kg of each sample was
98
prepared and kept in -20 °C. Pierce LTQ ESI positive ion calibration solution (10 mL)
99
was purchased from ThermoFisher Scientific (Rockford, IL). The calibration solution,
100
which contained n-butylamine (m/z 74), caffeine (m/z 195 and its fragment m/z 138),
101
Ultramark 1621 (m/z 1022, 1122, 1222, 1322, 1422, 1522, 1622, 1722, 1822) and MRFA
102
(m/z 524), was used to tune and calibrate the Q-Orbitrap. Ammonium acetate (reagent
103
grade), formic acid (LC-MS grade, ~98%), ammonium formate (MS grade, >99.0%),
104
methanol (LC-MS grade, Chromsolv, 2.5L) and acetonitrile (LC-MS grade, Chromasolv,
105
2.5 L) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Corp (Oakville, Canada). Enviro Clean Mylar
106
Pouches (6.0 g anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and 1.5 g anhydrous sodium
107
acetate) and Enviro Clean extraction columns (900 mg MgSO4, 150 mg C18 and 300 mg
108
primary secondary amine (PSA), 15 mL centrifuge tubes) were purchased from United
109
Chemical Technologies, Inc (Bristol, PA). Acetic acid (glacial acetic acid, reagent grade,
110
99.7%), acetonitrile (distilled in glass) and methanol (distilled in glass) were obtained
111
from Caledon Laboratories Ltd (Georgetown, Canada). Water (18.2 MΩ⋅Cm) used for
112
reagent and sample preparation was obtained from a Barnstead Nanopure system
113
(Thermo Scientific). Pesticides standards were obtained from EQ Laboratories Inc
114
(Atlanta, GA), Riedel-de Haen AG (Seelze, Germany) or Chem Service (Westchester,

PA). LC vials were Mini-UniPrep syringeless filter device with polypropylene housing
116
and PVDF 0.45 µm membrane (Whatman Inc., Florham Park, NJ ).

Preparation of Standard Solutions. Individual pesticide standard stock solutions
118
were generally prepared at a concentration of 4000.0 µg/mL in methanol/acetonitrile
119
(50:50, v/v). Due to their poor solubility, carbendazim was prepared at 200.0 µg/mL and
120
some pesticides were prepared at 1000.0 or 2000.0 µg/mL. Intermediate pesticide
121
standard mix solutions were prepared at 10.0 µg/mL and 15.0 µg/mL in
122
methanol/acetonitrile (50:50, v/v), from stock solutions. Due to the large number of
123
pesticides (~450), intermediate solutions were prepared in separate 200 mL (15 µg/mL,
124
including ~ 200 stocks) and 250 mL (10 µg/mL, including ~ 250 stocks) volumetric
125
flasks. Stock and intermediate solutions were stored at -20 °C. A two-level pesticide
126
standard mix working solution was prepared by transferring 1.5 and 15.0 mL of 10.0
127
µg/mL or 1.0 and 10.0 mL of 15.0 µg/mL intermediate working solution into two
128
separate 100 mL volumetric flasks for their respective concentration levels, and then
129
making up to volume with a mixture of methanol and acetonitrile (50:50, v/v). The
130
resulting concentrations were 0.15 and 1.50 µg/mL, which were used for sample
131
fortification at 10 and 100.0 µg/kg in sample. All working solutions were stored at 4 °C.
132
UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap Parameters. UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap system
133
consisted of an Accela 1250 LC pump and an Accela open autosampler coupled with a Q
134
Exactive mass spectrometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Germany). The system was
135
controlled by Xcalibur 2.4 software.
136 137
Ultra-high Pressure Liquid Chromatography. The UHPLC column utilized was a Hypersil Gold, 100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.9 µm column (Thermo Scientific, USA) and
6
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 7 of 39
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
138
UHPLC guard column was an Accucore aQ 10 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 µm Defender cartridge
139
(Thermo Scientific, USA). The mobile phases and the LC gradient profile were identical
140
to conditions presented elsewhere.13
141
Q-Orbitrap Parameters. The Q-Exactive ion source was equipped with a heated
142
electrospray ionization (HESI) probe and the Q-Orbitrap was tuned and calibrated using
143
positive LTQ calibration solution once per week.
144
To obtain the product-ion spectra that were used to build the in-house compound
145
database, the Q-Exactive was operated in Full MS/dd-MS2. During the Full MS scan, the
146
Q-Exactive mass-resolution was set at 70,000 FWHM; AGC target: 1.0E6; maximum IT:
147
250 ms; and scan range m/z 80 to 1100. If the targeted mass of a compound from the
148
inclusion list was detected within ±5 ppm mass tolerance, the precursor ion was isolated
149
by the quadrupole and sent to the HCD (higher energy collisional dissociation) cell for
150
fragmentation via the C-trap. The inclusion list, which consisted of the masses of
151
precursor ions (with a few present as fragments) in forms of [M+H]+, [M+NH4]+ and
152
[M+Na]+ for pesticides, is listed in Table 1. The precursor ion was fragmented with a
153
stepped normalized collision energy (NCE) to generate product-ion spectra. For dd-MS2,
154
the Q-Exactive mass-resolution was set at 35,000 FWHM; AGC target: 2E5; maximum
155
IT: 120 ms; isolation window: m/z 1.0; NCE/stepped NCE: 20, 40 and 60; underfill ratio:
156
10%; intensity threshold: 1.7E5; apex trigger: 3 to 6 s; and dynamic exclusion: 10.0 s.
157
Each pesticide standard was injected twice on the system at 50 µg/L (ppb) or higher
158
concentration.
159
For target screening of pesticides in samples, data independent acquisition (DIA)
160
was performed through Full MS-SIM (m/z 100-1000), DIA-1 (m/z 100-500), and DIA-2
7
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

161
(m/z 500-900) sequentially (Figure 1). For Full MS-SIM, the Q-Exactive mass-resolution
162
was set at 70,000 FWHM; AGC target: 3.0E6; maximum IT: 200 ms; scan range: m/z 100
163
to 1000. For DIA-1 with a mass range from m/z 100 to 500, the Q-Exactive was set the
164
mass-resolution at 35,000 FWHM; AGC target: 2.0E6; maximum IT: auto; loop count:
165
16; MSX count: 1; isolation window: m/z 25.0; and NCE/stepped NCE 20, 40, 60. Thus,
166
a collection of ions isolated by the quadruple in every m/z 25 mass increment from m/z
167
100 to 500 in 16 steps were sent to HCD cell for fragmentation via the C-trap. For DIA-2
168
with a mass range from m/z 500 to 900, the Q-Exactive mass-resolution was set at 35,000
169
FWHM; AGC target: 2.0E6; maximum IT: auto; loop count: 4; MSX count: 1; isolation
170
window: m/z 100.0; and NCE/stepped NCE: 20, 40, 60. Thus, a collection of ions isolated
171
by the quadruple in every m/z 100 mass increment from m/z 500 to 900 in 4 steps were
172
sent to HCD cell for fragmentation via the C-trap. The inclusion list for DIA consisted of
173
the masses: 112.80116, 137.81253, 162.8239, 187.83527, 212.84663, 237.85800,
174
262.86937, 287.88074, 312.89211, 337.90348, 362.91485, 387.92622, 412.93758,
175
437.94895, 462.96032, 487.97169, 550.50011, 650.54559, 750.59106 and 850.63654.
176
Other Q-Exactive generic parameters were: sheath gas flow rate set at 60; Aux gas flow
177
rate: 30; Sweep gas flow rate: 2; Spray voltage (KV): 3.50; Capillary temperature (°C):
178
350; S-lens level: 55.0 and Heater temperature (°C): 350 as reported elsewhere.13,14
179
Sample Preparation and Extraction Procedure. For fortification experiment,
180
fruit and vegetable samples (15.0 g/sample) were weighed into individual 50 mL
181
polypropylene centrifuge tubes (VWR International, Canada). One mL per two-level
182
sample spike pesticide standard working solution was added into each centrifuge tube to
183
provide 10.0 or 100.0 µg/kg of pesticides equivalent in sample. Sample extraction and
8

184
clean-up procedures followed the buffered QuEChERS presented elsewhere.13,14,20. The
185
final sample extracts were either diluted 1:1 or concentrated 3:1. For 1:1 dilution, 250 µL
186
of each sample extracts and 250 µL of 0.1 M ammonium acetate and methanol (50:50,
187
v/v) were transferred into separate Mini-UniPrep vials (Whatman Inc., USA). The vials
188
were capped, vortexed for 30 s and pressed to filter the solution. Sample extracts were
189
then ready for UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap injections. For 3:1 concentration, 3 mL of sample
190
extracts was evaporated to 0.1 − 0.2 mL using an N-EVAP nitrogen evaporator
191
(Organomation Associates Inc., USA) at 30 °C under a stream of nitrogen. The extracts
192
were made up to 0.5 mL with methanol, vortexed for 30 s, and then made up to 1.0 mL
193
with 0.1M ammonium acetate and vortexed again for 30 s. Five hundred microliters of
194
each extract was transferred into a Mini-UniPrep vial (Whatman Inc., USA), and the vials
195
were capped, vortexed for 30 s, and pressed to filter. Sample extracts were ready for
196
UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap injections.
197
Data Processing. The Target Screening function of TraceFinder 3.3 was used for
198
data processing based on the compound database developed in house. For target
199
screening parameter settings, response threshold was set individually for each pesticide
200
(Table 1, column 4); mass accuracy: 5 ppm for both precursor ion and fragment; retention
201
time window: 60 s; minimum number of fragments: 1; and MS order: MS2.
202
Experimental Design and Method Validation. The method was validated at
203
10.0 and 100.0 µg/kg for a total of 10 matrices that included 5 fruits (i.e. apple, banana,
204
grape, orange and strawberry) and 5 vegetables (i.e. carrot, potato, tomato, broccoli and
205
lettuce). For each matrix, samples were spiked at 10.0 or 100.0 µg/kg, in duplicate. After
206
sample extraction and clean-up, the final sample extracts were either diluted 1:1 or
9
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 10 of 39
207
concentrated 3:1 prior to UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap injections. The experiment was
208
repeated on three different days. The positive screen of a pesticide should meet the
209
criterion that it can be detected in at least 95% of the 20 samples (i.e. an acceptable false-
210
negative rate of ≤ 5%) in a batch.16
211
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
212
Sample Preparation or QuEChERS. Pesticides were extracted from fruits and
213
vegetables following the QuEChERS method. The sample extracts were either diluted 1:1
214
or concentrated 3:1. Dilution was intended to simplify the sample preparation procedure
215
for a routine practice while the concentration step was meant to increase the final
216
concentration of pesticides in vial to improve the method sensitivity for detectability. The
217
QuEChERS provided acceptable recoveries for 448 pesticides in fruits and vegetables,
218
which were presented elsewhere.13
219
Data Acquisition. Full MS/dd-MS2 was used to acquire product ion spectra of
220
individual pesticides. The product-ion spectra provided the accurate masses of fragments
221
that were used to build a compound database (CDB) and MS library. The retention times
222
were taken from the extracted chromatograms of a Full MS scan. The development of the
223
CDB was the main focus of the current study. This included exploring its practicality and
224
applicability for data processing or semi-automated target screening. The further
225
examination and expansion of the MS library was kept for future study or investigation.
226
It was determined that Full MS/dd-MS2 was not sufficient for sample data
227
acquisition. This may be because the instrument scan speed was not fast enough to trigger
228
every dd-MS2 scan, especially when a large number of pesticides in the inclusion list
229
were injected on to the system in the same analytical run. Alternatively, Full MS/DIA,
10
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 11 of 39
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
230
which acquired fragment ions of all precursors as for per defined mass range, was utilized
231
for sample data acquisition. The Q-Orbitrap first performed one Full MS, followed by
232
two DIAs sequentially (Figure 1). Therefore, the extracted chromatograms of Full MS
233
provided the retention times and DIAs offered the accurate masses of all fragments
234
generated in HCD as per defined quadrupole mass isolation window, i.e. m/z 25 for a
235
mass range of m/z 100-500 and m/z 100 for m/z 500-900.
236
Target Screening Parameters and Criteria. The target screening or semi-
237
automated qualitative analysis was performed using TraceFinder 3.3 Target Screening
238
function. The screening parameters and criteria were based on either retention time (±
239
0.5 min) and mass accuracy (≤ 5 ppm) of a precursor (RTP by Full MS) or retention time
240
(±0.5 min) and mass accuracy (≤ 5 ppm) of a precursor and its fragment ion (RTFI by
241
Full MS/DIA). A method performance acceptability criterion was set at an acceptable
242
false-negative rate of ≤ 5%. Screening results of incurred residues by RTP approach were
243
considered as tentative positive findings while those by the RTFI were taken as
244
confirmative positive findings.
245
Compound Database. The accurate masses, retention times and response
246
thresholds are three key parameters in the compound database (CDB). They were first
247
organized in a Microsoft Excel template and then imported to Tracefinder 3.3 to create an
248
executable compound database (eCDB). The exact masses of precursors were calculated
249
theoretically from their elemental compositions while the accurate masses of their
250
fragments were obtained from the product-ion spectra of individual standards (50 µg/L)
251
acquired using Full MS/dd-MS2. The Q-Orbitrap performed a three-step normalized
252
collision, i.e. NCE at 20, 40 and 60, to induce fragmentation. The fragments, which were
11
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
253
generated sequentially in three NCEs and collected in the HCD, were sent altogether to
254
the Orbitrap analyzer via C-Trap for single scan detection. Since the stepped NCE was
255
not optimized for each individual pesticide, the obtained product-ion spectra did not
256
represent the best quality in terms of sensitivity for identification, especially for low
257
abundance fragments. However, the developed CDB served the purpose for target
258
screening of pesticides at the required concentration levels as indicated in the validated
259
results.
Page 12 of 39
A pesticide can be ionized in the form of [M+H]+, [M+NH4]+ or [M+Na]+. Often
260 261
its protonated form showed the highest abundance (Table 1, column 5). The four most
262
abundant fragments (Table 1, columns 8-11) plus the precursor (Table 1, column 7) were
263
selected to build the CDB. The accurate mass of the precursor, which was eventually
264
replaced by the exact mass, was always placed in the first column in the Excel template,
265
followed by the masses of four fragments arranged according to ion abundance from high
266
to low.
267
Mass Correction. There is usually a mass measurement error obtained from the
268
experimental mass data. Mass correction, which is based on either in-spectrum mass
269
correction or solvent background lock-mass correction, was made to achieve the best
270
accurate mass for the CDB using the following equations.
271
= + × (∆ /1,000,000) ∆ =
272 273
− × 1,000,000
Where ∆ : mass accuracy or mass error in ppm; A: corrected mass; B: measured mass; C: exact mass or theoretical value.
12
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 13 of 39
274
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
When the mass error of a precursor was less than 2.5 ppm, the mass correction
275
was made according to the mass accuracy of the precursor in the dd-MS2 product-ion
276
spectrum and this is called in-spectrum mass correction. When a precursor was not
277
observed in the dd-MS2 product-ion spectrum or its mass error was greater than 2.5 ppm,
278
the mass correction was made according to the mass accuracy of an ion in the background
279
of a Full MS scan spectrum, i.e. m/z 214.08963, which is n-butyl benzenesulfonamide,
280
and this is termed solvent background lock-mass correction. The 2.5 ppm cutoff was
281
arbitrarily chosen to reduce the probability of mass over correction. Columns 8-11 in
282
Table 1 present the corrected masses for fragments and column 7 lists the exact masses of
283
the precursors. The masses in columns 7-11 in Table 1 were used to build a compound
284
database for target screening. It should be noted that the eCDB with corrected masses can
285
only be used for screening but not for identification since these masses (not theoretical
286
values) cannot be used to derive mass accuracy of fragments.
287
There were a total of 448 pesticides (Table 1, column 1) or 461 entries (Table 1,
288
column 2) in the in-house developed compound database. Some pesticides had multiple
289
entries due to their different ionization forms such as [M+H]+, [M+NH4]+ or [M+Na]+,
290
resulting in close or equal ion abundance. For a few pesticides, their fragments were used
291
as “precursors” for further induced fragmentation (Table 1, column 5) because their
292
precursors showed very low ion intensities due to significant in-source fragmentation.
293
Retention Time Alignment. The retention times (tR) of individual pesticides, which
294
were obtained from their extracted ion chromatograms based on the exact masses, were
295
input into the CDB. The tR and its tolerance were found to be critical for the data
296
processing software (i.e. TraceFinder 3.3) to identify an incurred pesticide in samples and
13
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 14 of 39
297
to match its fragments in the eCDB. However, retention times drifted slightly within a
298
batch and/or between batches. The current version of the software (TraceFinder 3.3) in
299
screening mode cannot update the tR after the data is processed. It was also not practical
300
to adjust every single tR for each batch because of the large number of compounds in the
301
eCDB. Alternatively, a single stable and well-characterized compound was used to
302
calculate a correction constant. The correction constant was applied to all pesticides in
303
the CDB for the batch. This correction effectively aligned the retention times to the
304
reference and this process was termed as “tR alignment”. For example, the retention time
305
of 3-hydroxycarbofuran, ~4.50 min, was chosen as the reference for the tR alignment. If
306
the tR of 3-hydroxycarbofuran were 4.50 min in the eCDB while the observed tR were
307
4.61 min in a current batch, the time difference would be 0.11 min. The 0.11 min was
308
added to the tR to each pesticide in the eCDB. For routine practice, the tR correction and
309
alignment were achieved using a Microsoft Excel template. The new set of tR was
310
transferred to the CDB (Microsoft Excel) and then imported to TraceFinder 3.3 to
311
override the tR in the eCDB.
312
Response Threshold Adjustment. Response threshold is a parameter that can be
313
assigned a value for each compound in the eCDB. The software will integrate a peak
314
when a sample signal response surpasses the threshold. Response threshold can be
315
assigned a generic number such as 30,000 or individual values. If a generic default is set
316
too low, this could result in an increased number of false positives. For example, if the
317
response threshold were set at 30,000, the number of false pesticide positives could range
318
from 40 to 69 in 30 blank samples (Figure 2B). The detected peaks could result from a
319
trace amount of pesticides present in the “blank samples”, or most likely small adjacent
14
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 15 of 39
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
320
peaks or interferences from a noisy baseline that were above the response threshold. If a
321
generic default is set too high, the screening result may end up with an increased number
322
of false negatives. For a screening method to be effective, it is essential to set appropriate
323
response thresholds to reduce false positives and/or false negatives. It has been well
324
known that the ionization efficiency of individual analytes differs in the electrospray ion
325
source, and that matrix effects could cause ion suppression or enhancement. Therefore,
326
response thresholds should be set accordingly for each pesticide.
327
To set appropriate response thresholds for individual pesticides, a mixture of
328
standards, which was prepared at 5 µg/L in solvent, was injected 20 times on to the
329
UHPL/ESI Q-Orbitrap and data were acquired by Full MS/DIA. The 5 µg/L in solvent
330
was equivalent to 10 µg/kg in sample when the final sample extracts were diluted 1:1.
331
After data acquisition and processing, the peak areas of individual pesticides were
332
averaged. The averaged original peak areas (OPA) at 5 µg/L were not adopted directly as
333
response thresholds because the values were high and could lead to a large number of
334
false negatives. Potential matrix effects, mainly ion suppression, and day-to-day
335
instrument sensitivity variation were also taken into account. The values of 5, 10 or 15%
336
OPA were tested for their applicability to determine the appropriate response thresholds
337
to be used in routine practice. When response thresholds were set at 5, 10 or 15% OPA,
338
the number of false negatives was not that different from that at 30,000 default (Figure
339
2A). Some pesticides (6 to 11 pesticides, Figure 2A) were not detected actually due to
340
their poor signal responses. However, while screening 30 blank samples (10 matrices in
341
triplicate) using response thresholds set at 5, 10 or 15% OPA, the number of false
342
positives was significantly reduced, compared to that of 30,000 default (Figure 2B). For
15
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
343
example, the false positives were in a range of 12-30, 9-23 or 9-19 with response
344
thresholds at 5, 10 or 15 % OPA, respectively, compared to a range of 40-69 at 30,000
345
default (Figure 2B). In the current study, 10% OPA was used as the response threshold
346
values for data processing.
Page 16 of 39
347
It should be noted that tR alignment should be performed for every batch of
348
analysis but mass correction and response threshold should be corrected or set once at the
349
beginning when building the eCDB. Response threshold can be adjusted accordingly
350
based on routine experiences to help reduce false positives in the presence of a high
351
constant matrix background.
352
Validation and Results. The target screening method was validated using
353
SANTE/11945/201516. Ten blank sample matrices (5 fruits and 5 vegetables) were spiked
354
at 10 µg/kg and 100 µg/kg in duplicate, respectively, and the experiment was repeated on
355
three different days. For every pesticide, there were a total of 20 samples per batch that
356
were used to validate the method and meet the criterion that a pesticide had to be detected
357
in at least 95% of the samples (i.e. an acceptable false-negative rate of ≤ 5%).
358
After data acquisition, the results from samples spiked at 10 µg/kg were first
359
processed by the RTP approach using a default of response threshold of 30,000. The data
360
were then manually checked by going through 55,320 (461×20×2×3) individual
361
chromatograms from 461 entries in 20 samples per batch, in which sample extracts were
362
either diluted 1:1 or concentrated 3:1, and repeated on a total of three different days. This
363
was to assess whether the screening parameter settings (i.e. mainly response threshold
364
and tR tolerance) were properly set and to confirm that the eCDB was working properly.
365
Since the nearest tR algorithm was used for the peak detection, the software could
16
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 17 of 39
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
366
possibly integrate an adjacent peak, a noisy baseline or a shoulder peak as the peak of
367
interest, and presented them as positives. Therefore, any false positives as a result of peak
368
misidentification were counted as failed or not being detected during the manual check.
369
In the initial evaluation, any pesticide which failed once to meet the acceptable
370
false-negative rate of ≤ 5% on any of the three days’ experiments, whether sample
371
extracts were diluted 1:1 or concentrated 3:1, was counted as “not being detected”.
372
Therefore, 396 entries out of 461 were screened as positives in the spiked samples with
373
1:1 dilution (Figure 3A) and 402 with 3:1 concentration (Figure 3B) by manual check.
374
When response thresholds were set at 10% OPA, the numbers of entries detected were
375
closer to the results from the manual check than those from 30,000 default (Figure 3A
376
and 3B). The number of false positives were reduced when appropriate response
377
thresholds were used.
378
It was assumed that a tighter criterion for tR tolerance would reduce the number of
379
false positives. When ± 0.2 min was applied, up to 19 pesticides (Figure 3A and 3B) fell
380
outside the tR range, compared to the manually checked results. In this case, a narrower tR
381
window actually increased the number of false negatives. Therefore, the tolerance of ±0.2
382
min was too stringent while ±0.5 min was considered practical because it resulted in less
383
false negatives.
384
Figure 4 presents the final validated results based on the criteria of mass accuracy
385
±5 ppm and tR ±0.5 min by either RTP or RTFI using 10% OPA as response thresholds.
386
Taking Day 1 as an example (samples spiked at 10 µg/kg with 1:1 dilution), 402 entries
387
were detected by RTP and 340 by RTFI (Figure 4A). The method proved to be
388
reproducible as indicated by the repeatability of the results from 3 different days at the
17
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 18 of 39
389
concentration levels of 10 and 100 µg/kg, whether the sample extracts were diluted 1:1 (5
390
µg/L in vial) or concentrated 3:1 (30 µg/L in vial). In general, there were more pesticides
391
detected for both tentative and confirmative screening at 100 µg/kg than at 10 µg/kg as a
392
result of higher peak intensities at a higher concentration (Figure 4).
393
Since the method was developed for the purpose of target screening, the final
394
validated results were consolidated to represent the optimal detection scenario of
395
minimizing false negatives. For example, when a pesticide was detected in at least 95%
396
of the samples on one of the 3-day experiments, it was included in the method. In
397
addition, the isobaric compounds were added to the list since they were possibly
398
mislabeled as false negatives due to the same mass but slightly different retention times.
399
The results in Figure 4 (the last 2 columns) represent the optimal detection scenario for
400
the method. In other words, the final method was able to tentatively screen 419 pesticides
401
(94% of 448 pesticides) (1:1 dilution) or 423 (94%) (3:1 concentration) and to
402
confirmatively screen 370 (83%) (1:1 dilution) or 385 (86%) (3:1 concentration) at 10
403
µg/kg (Figure 4A, last 2 columns); and to tentatively screen 444 pesticides (99% of 448
404
pesticides) (1:1 dilution) or 443 (99%) (3:1 concentration) and to confirmatively screen
405
408 (91%) (1:1 dilution) or 413 (92%) (3:1 concentration) at 100 µg/kg (Figure 4B, last 2
406
columns).
407
It was observed that there was not much difference in the detectability of
408
pesticides by RTP for tentative screening, whether sample extracts were diluted 1:1 or
409
concentrated 3:1 for the concentration levels of 10 µg/kg and 100 µg/kg (Figure 4 A and
410
B). When fragment ions were included for confirmative screening, for example RTFI at
411
10 µg/kg (Figure 4A), there were significant differences in detectability of pesticides
18
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 19 of 39
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
412
between the diluted and concentrated sample extracts. There were more fragments ions
413
detected in the concentrated sample extracts (30 µg/L in vial) than diluted (5 µg/L in vial)
414
at 10 µg/kg (Figure 4A). Once again, this resulted from higher peak intensities at a higher
415
concentration.
416
Blind Spike Experiment. The method was further evaluated by a blind spike
417
experiment. The 10 blank sample matrices (5 fruits and 5 vegetables) were spiked with 2
418
to 8 pesticides per sample in a range of from 10 to 500 µg/kg by one analyst, with a total
419
of 41 pesticides spiked in this experiment (Table 2). The spiked samples were analyzed
420
by a second analyst who was not informed of which pesticides were spiked into the
421
samples. All 41 pesticides were successfully identified in the spiked samples (Table 2,
422
indicated as “Yes”) by both RTP and RTFI with the exception of carbaryl, which
423
fragment ion did not match that in eCDB (Table 2, indicated as “No”). Note that all of the
424
sample extracts were diluted 1:1 in the blind spike experiment.
425
In conclusion, UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap along with a compound database can be
426
used for target screening. When building a compound database, the data for individual
427
pesticides were acquired using Full MS/dd-MS2. The in-house developed compound
428
database contained the retention times and the exact or accurate masses of 448 pesticides
429
(including precursors and their fragments). Accurate mass, retention time and response
430
threshold were three key parameters considered when optimizing the compound database.
431
Mass correction, retention time alignment and response threshold adjustment were made
432
to the compound database to reduce false negatives and/or false positives. When
433
screening pesticides in samples, the data were acquired using Full MS/DIA. The
434
screening parameters and criteria were based on either retention time (±0.5 min) and
19
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 20 of 39
435
mass accuracy (≤ 5 ppm) of a precursor (RTP by Full MS) or retention time (±0.5 min)
436
and mass accuracy (≤ 5 ppm) of a precursor and its fragment ion (RTFI by Full MS/DIA).
437
The screening method performance acceptability criterion was set at an acceptable false-
438
negative rate of ≤ 5%. Based on the criteria and parameter settings used in this study, the
439
RTP approach tentatively found 94% and 99% of the 448 pesticides while the RTFI
440
confirmatively screened ≥ 83% and ≥ 91% in fruits and vegetables at 10 and 100 µg/kg,
441
respectively. In general, this semi-automated qualitative method screens not only
442
pesticides but also includes other chemical residues and contaminants in food in future
443
applications. For forthcoming studies, the exact masses of all fragments need to be
444
determined for simultaneously screening and identifying pesticides in food matrices.
